Getting under the skin

Skute is a new kind of network. A physical network, with you in control. Unlike all the other networks out there, to be part of a Skute network you have to physically touch. Make a real connection, in the real world. You can upload whatever you want onto your Skutes, and share it with whoever you like. Discover new stuff, see what your friends are sharing. Think of your Skute network as your private club - people can only get in once they’ve tapped their phone to your Skute. You control who sees what, even where they can see it and how long for! You might want parts of your club to be open to anyone, and have different exclusive VIP areas for selected people only. Skute puts you in control.The best part? It’s all free.

Skutes are little NFC tags which you can buy from our shop. They’re super cheap, so you can buy a bunch of them and not worry too much if you lose some! Gift some to your friends, make them part of your network.When you touch your phone to a Skute tag it’s like clicking on a link. It takes you into the Skute app, where you can either register the Skute (if it’s empty) or connect to it (if it already belongs to someone else).

To connect with people just touch your Skute to their NFC-enabled phone. They’re then connected to you. It’s that easy. Whatever you upload to that Skute, they’ll see. So get out there. Start tapping. Down the park, up the club, wherever. You see someone you want in your network, tap your Skute to their phone. You’re connected.You can share whatever you like. Things you’ve created or just the things that make you smile. Be bold, that’s our advice. Made something amazing? Found something hilarious? Get it out there!

Wear your Skute on a wrist band. Wear it on a necklace. Stick it to your shirt. Keep it in your pocket. Wear it however you want it, there’s no one-size-fits-all. In your face or under the radar. It’s your choice. When you talk about wearable tech, we tend to think of clunky watches, battery cases hanging off glasses, hefty clip-ons. Skute is different. Your Skutes become part of your style. Small and discreet, wear them how you want them. It’s your style.

When someone taps their phone to your Skute, you’re connected, part of the same network. You can then create your own private networks out of those connections, so you can share certain things safe in the knowledge they’ll stay in those networks. Remember: you’re in control here, you can set the rules and permissions for all your Skutes and for everything you upload. This is your club, and you decide who’s allowed where! Skute also allows you to track the progress of the content you’ve shared. You can watch in real time as it spreads through a physical network of people, touch by touch by touch. Finding new friends and communities, reaching faraway places… Think of a ripple spreading out from a splash. See your creations and passions surfing the edge of that ripple, touching people around the world.So get recognised. Shareable, trackable, traceable. Skute puts you in charge.

We take privacy seriously. Really. If you don’t trust us to look after you properly, why should you use Skute at all? We’re not interested in messing anyone around, so get yourself over to our Privacy Policy and see for yourself.

You’ve got your Skutes. You’ve got a bunch of friends and networks. You’ve uploaded a bunch of cool stuff and found a load more that other people have put out there. So what’s a pod?A pod is a wall mount. That means you can stick it to a wall. Or anything else. Why would you do that? Well, because you can perfectly slot one of your Skutes into it, and leave it somewhere. Anywhere. For instance, you could film your mate pulling an insane skating trick, then upload it to a Skute, leaving it ‘unlocked’. Stick that Skute into a pod and leave it by the ramp so others can find it. They tap the Skute, watch the trick, and can then add their own attempts to the Skute.Be discovered - leave a pod wherever you want. Your content, wherever you want it, just waiting to be found.
